Company Overview
ResMart is a leading e-commerce platform specializing in high-quality resins, offering a wide variety of resins and related products. Their mission is to provide a unique and seamless shopping experience to their customers through a robust online presence.
Key Challenges
ResMart was operating on an outdated Magento 1 platform integrated with a legacy WebERP system for managing inventory, orders, and customer data. The key challenges included:
Uninviting Design
The existing design of the ResMart platform lacked a visual appeal resulting in a very low user base.
Outdated Technology
Magento 1 and the existing ERP system lacked the latest features and functionalities to support ResMart’s growing business.
Performance Issues
The existing setup was inefficient and could not handle the increasing volume of transactions and data.
Integration Gaps
The integration between Magento 1 and the WebERP system was not seamless, causing operational inefficiencies.
